I was working on some other stuff but then ancientannoyance put Anastasia/Alecto out there and it took over my mind and I had to draw it myself ❤️‍

anyway happy new year! I hope to continue to be very normal about these books with you all

Gideon (in Harrow's body) and John are sitting at opposites ends of a plain table. Behind them is an ornate background that is at odds to the plain table, the background is of a vaulted cathedral-like wall with circular stained glass windows through which multi-coloured light is streaming in through, but everything is faded in the background into pastel colours. Two larger-than-life skeletons stand guard at each side of the background, backlit by the light. In the foreground Gideon is wearing a black sweater and pants and wearing the lyctor's cloak, with the sword strapped to her back. She has brown skin, black hair and golden eyes, and she looks like she'd rather be anywhere than here. In the table on her side is a pink Hello Kitty sippy cup. In the middle of the table is a plate of biscuits. On the other side of the table on John's side is a tea cup. He is holding the saucer, on which there are biscuits. He is saying "I wish you'd be more considerate, Gideon. I'm going through a really hard time right now." ALT
The second panel, it is the same setting, but now John has picked up the saucer, and Gideon is rolling her eyes to the ceiling, looking exasperated but still not saying anything. John is saying "My right-hand woman just died, and she was one of my best friends, and I'm really sad about it."ALT
The third panel, it is the same sitting, but Gideon's hand is coming up to gesture and she is looking at John and saying "I hate to break it to you pops-"ALT
The fourth panel is the same setting, but Gideon now looks pissed and she's still speaking. She continues "-but the reason your right-hand woman is dead is because you KILLED her!" John is sipping his tea very calmly, and he says "But I felt very bad about it."ALT

some part of me wanted a scene where Gideon got to be parented by John at the end of HTN and they had the absolute worst father-daugther dynamic ever

(Happy Holidays, and Happy Birthday Gideon Nav! )
